It's go-see time! The girls are still in Brazil and no one is sad that Natalie's gone, in part because she would probably win this challenge. The girls head off in taxis to meet up to five designated Brazilian designers who are looking for a model with style, personality and soul. They get four hours, and must be back to receive their evaluations by 3:30 sharp. There is crazy traffic in Sao Paulo, which delays some of the girls at various points. Celia even busts out her walker and foots it for part of the journey. Celia is, if you need a reminder, pretty aged, which is noted by several designers. Fo, despite making it to all five designers, has a problem of her own because she's short and not runway-ready. Allison is extremely shy and nervous at her go-sees, but Teyona and Aminat appear to do really well. Only Teyona, Aminat and Allison make it back in time (poor Celia must suffer the pain of being one minute late), and get to head to their evaluation in a private helicopter! Teyona wins the challenge, and gets a piece of clothing from each participating designer. Fo is pissed about this and starts to have a breakdown in the confessional. Celia is also discouraged, but acknowledges that Teyona's busted wardrobe really needed an update, so it all worked out in the end.
The photo shoot has the girls wearing microscopic bikinis and posing in a crowd of extremely random local extras on the beach. Nigel is the photographer, which adds a notch of pressure for all the models. Aminat, despite having the best swimsuit body there, is still not all that good, but she's not quite a horror show this week either. Teyona continues her trend of really being able to model, and Allison pulls out a surprise series of sexy, flirty shots. Celia sucks so much that Nigel has to jump in and demonstrate how to properly fondle a hairy fat guy in a photo. In all fairness, Celia might be distracted because she is wearing an eye patch as a bikini bottom. She lands in the bottom two with Fo, whose photo was hunched and remedial and terrible. In the battle of old against wee, Celia comes out on top and Fo must return home with the shame of having booked zero of five go-sees.
Would Top Model ever cast old models? Even older than Celia? See our vloggers take.
Previously on America's Top Model: The girls made their way to fierce, fashionable Brazil, tried their limbs at capoiera, and evoked fruit-hatted Carmen Miranda at their photo shoot. Teyona worked it, per usual, and Natalie was a pill, per usual. She was sent home, which should have been a relief since she found everything in Brazil unfavorable. Five bitches remain!
The girls return home after judging, and it is still broad daylight. The universe was so happy about Natalie getting the boot that it gave the sun another go-round. Aminat asks in a somewhat disparaging manner, "Imagine if they would have chosen HER instead of ME?" I actually could imagine that since, even though she sucked in a whole range of ways, Natalie was a better model. Teyona, however, is metaphorically singing "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead." Natalie thought she was better than everyone else, which didn't win her any friends, and Teyona assures us that she wasn't that great anyway. The girls talk about Natalie's constant complaining, and Celia says that it literally pains her that a person wouldn't appreciate this experience. That might actually be the gout. Celia interviews that she's 25 and has more insight than any of the other girls, and adds that the fact that she has potential at this age speaks very, very loudly. It has to, since Celia had her hearing aid turned down and wouldn't have caught it otherwise.
Tyra Mail! "You need to hit the ground running if you want to fly. Love, Tyra." The girls think that maybe they'll be parasailing or hang gliding. Maybe the big drag queen in the sky will dangle them around on the ends of her feather boa. We are reminded that Allison had the best photo last week. She interviews that she feels shaky and nervous and unbelievable pressure to do well. However, she's still there, she says, so is determined to cultivate some positivity. As the girls sit around eating, Celia asks who honestly thought they'd make the top five. Fo says she did not. She interviews that she's unbelievably proud of herself, and never even though she'd get a callback when she auditioned for the show. Everything that Fo has done in her life -- including high school -- has been half-assed, so becoming America's Top Model would prove to Fo that she can actually do something and that dreams do happen. I never really thought that "But you can get your GED!" would be a message of hope, but there you go. Fo also reminds us that she's the shortest of the bunch, and so needs to be put in the taffy puller to overcome her natural 5'8" frame.
The girls head to a building that we soon learn is the headquarters for Sao Paulo Fashion Week. They meet Paulo Borges, who is the Sao Paulo Fashion Week Director. Perhaps the whole city was named after him and his fabulous Charles Nelson Reilly glasses? Paulo has a translator named Fabienne Muzy. That is my new favorite name ever! It implies that you are both fabulous and muzy. And while I don't know what muzy actually means, I'm sure it's something awesome. Try it: "My, but you're looking muzy today in that caftan!" Fabienne tells them that today they'll emulate the life of a real working model by going on go-sees! Most of the girls are visibly excited, but Allison interviews that the news made her want to die a little bit. She gets very nervous, and her weave makes her look like the Bride of Chucky, so she is not looking forward to the experience. Seriously, can you imagine a real model going to meet with a designer with that hair? Fabienne tells the girls that the top designers in Sao Paulo are looking for a girl with style, personality, and soul. Too bad that Tyra has already contractually taken their souls. Celia tells us that this challenge is set apart from the others because this is business, and this is serious. I love the implicit statement that every other stupid challenge they have to do is, in fact, bullshit. Celia continues that they'll be seeing five designers and have to impress them, because ultimately the designers give the job. Fabienne translates for Paulo that the girls may go to all five designers in any order, but they have to meet Paulo at an address designated on their map by 3:30. Oh, which stupid bitch is going to fuck it up this time? Taxis are waiting outside, which makes me miss the days when the girls would be forced to set out on their own and get groped on the subway, or catch a ride with vespa drivers with whom they'd have cheating sex later on in the evening.
So, to recap: five designers, a taxi and a map, be back by 3:30. It appears that they have four hours total. The girls all rush off to their cabs and discover that Sao Paulo has some serious traffic. Aminat says that it's worse than New York and L.A. put together, which, she notes, is ridonkulous. Celia's strategy is to start with the designer who's farthest away and then work backwards. Smart. Teyona apparently has the same idea, as she arrives at the same designer just after Celia. As she sees Celia enter the building, she decides to move on somewhere else since, and I quote, "I'm not trying to wait for anybody, they need wait for me." And, in case you're wondering, Teyona doesn't even get out of bed for less than $10.00 a day. Celia meets designer Adriana Degreas, who asks how old she is. She is honest about being 25. One might think her age would help her in this instance, where she is strutting in an orange Golden Girls-inspired caftan. Caio Campos, translator for Adriana Degreas, tells us that Celia has everything it takes to be a supermodel. However, she is on death's door. It's a problem. But Adriana is not afraid of a visit from the Grim Reaper and would still book her. Celia is wearing that great gold poufy skirt, which I'm sure only helps her case.
Three and a half hours remain! Allison reminds us that, aside from this competition, she has no modeling experience whatsoever. Additionally, her walk is her big weakness. She meets Oskar Metsavaht, designer for Osklen. He tells us that he likes Allison's personality, but she was very shy. Oskar enjoys Allison's pictures, but oof, that walk. He interviews that Allison would be good for photo campaigns, but is not ready for the catwalk. At all. Several girls decide to hoof it from designer to designer to avoid the traffic. Teyona is apparently not one of these. Fo arrives at designer Cris Barros. Cris likes Fo's ethnic look and charming face. Fo walks and Cris asks her to be more natural. Cris's final assessment is as such: "Fo should be taller... with kind of... concave for the clothes." The latter half of that sentence is entirely mysterious, but the first part comes through loud and clear. Celia arrives at Huis Clos, where she meets designer Clo Orozco. I'm hoping for an "Oprah... Uma"-style "Clo... Fo" moment in the near future! Clo is either blind or a rock star, as she is sporting some gigantic shades indoors. Stupid Teyona enters Huis Clos only to see Celia there again! She is frustrated at her bad luck and once again leaves before she can walk for the designer.
Aminat winds up at Ellus, where she meets designer Adriana Bozon. Aminat tries to chat her up. She knows that her photos aren't the greatest, but says she has one of the strongest walks. Aminat is truly an Amazon. She and Fo should team up for a remake of Twins. Adriana says that she'd book Aminat for a runway show, and that she's better suited for that than for a photo campaign. Teyona gets to Ellus just as Aminat is leaving, so actually gets to walk. Adriana likes her very much and says that she'd book Teyona for her show. With two hours and forty-five minutes remaining, we learn that Celia is on her third go-see. Aminat is on her second, and Oskar says that he would book her. He is Teyona's second go-see. Fo is also on her second go-see, and Adriana Degreas also isn't booking her, again because she's so wee. Allison is also on her second go-see with Crazy Sunglasses Designer, who has said nothing but is my new hero. Fo is in her taxi, which is stuck in traffic. She interviews that in fashion time is of the essence, and that designers get mad if you're even one minute late. As she stresses out about the time, she hopes that the traffic doesn't screw her over and we head to commercials.
When we return, the girls have a bit over an hour remaining. Fo is nervous about all the go-sees she has yet to go see, and also is having trouble keeping track of time. She makes it to Osklen, where she puts right up front that she's been told she's a little short but gives it her all. Way to own the weeness, munchkin. Oskar says something that sounds like, "Fo. Her body not fleekin flokin." Maybe that's in Oompa Loompan, so her people can understand? What comes through clearly is that Fo is commercial and not for high fashion. With less than an hour left to go, Teyona goes to Huis Clos, her third go-see. My hero in the crazy glasses says that her first impression of Teyona was the best. She likes Teyona's chic style. Allison heads to Adriana Degreas for her third go-see. She walks in a bathing suit and has to be told to relax. Things don't go much better as Allison tries her hand at modeling a caftan pantsuit on the catwalk. Yes, I just said "caftan pantsuit." Adriana's translator says that she'd maybe book Allison for an ad campaign but not a fashion show. Poor Allison gets stuck in the curtains as she tries to leave. She should try modeling a Charlie Brown shirt .
With half an hour left, Aminat has her third go-see with Cris Barros. Celia arrives and has to wait for Aminat to finish. She says that Aminat has a beautiful, amazing walk. And she looks unusually flattering in a dress made entirely of purple ruffles. Tyra herself is a fan of purple ruffles, which is maybe why Aminat has made it this far. Aminat interviews that she would like Celia to go home because, no offense, she looks old. You know, it's kind of hard to believe that you don't actually mean any offense when you call someone old at 25. I've done it throughout this season's recaps, so I should know. Cris, however, likes Celia, and says that she's confident and elegant when she walks, and has a great career ahead. It's true that Celia looks excellent in her ruffly Cris Barros ensembles. Teyona arrives to see Celia walking and thinks, "Day-um!" She decides to leave rather than risking being late for the 3:30 deadline. She's the first to arrive, about 10 minutes early. This elicits a "woo-woo!" from Teyona. Allison and Aminat are in their cars on the way back, and Aminat hopes that all the other girls are late and she wins by default. Way to set high standards for yourself! Allison is stressed about the time and the traffic. Fo makes it to her fifth go-see with Crazy Sunglasses Lady. She says that 1) Fo is very commercial; 2) she prefers Fo in photos; 3) Fo is not very tall. Fo puts on sunglasses to try to win favor, but it does not work.
Fo has only seven minutes remaining with a 15 minute drive ahead. That is bad news for her. Celia thinks that she has plenty of time if she skips the fifth designer, so heads back. Aminat rushes to the meeting destination and makes it with about yrn minutes to spare. She says this is good for her because she's African and never on time. Maybe I am secretly African? Allison then shows up, also on time with about a minute to spare. Allison saw four designers altogether as opposed to Teyona and Aminat's three. Celia gets out of her cab and moseys to the building. When she enters the designated room, the other girls scream, "Laaate!" Celia is exactly one minute late. She interviews that she was downstairs on time and it took her forever to get to the designated room. She thinks she's fine. There is no doubt, however, that Fo is late. She's pretty sure that she's disqualified, and is crestfallen. The other girls mock and malign her, and the fifth go-see with Crazy Glasses Lady is looking like a pretty bad move right now.
Vanessa da Silveira, Paulo Borges' assistant, greets the girls and tells them that Mr. Borges would like the girls to meet him at Fashion Week headquarters. They follow her onto the roof. Because time is of the essence, the girls will get to go by helicopter! Celia interviews that she was so excited because she's never been on a helicopter. Update: Celia has still never been on a helicopter. She and Fo were both late, and so are disqualified from the challenge and have to take a cab to the Loozer's Lounge. Teyona does a happy dance as Celia and Fo pout. The helicopter ride seems pretty cool, and Aminat, Allison and Teyona are even treated to some sort of exciting ascent.
They meet Paulo and his translator for their critiques. Allison saw four designers, who think that she has a very exotic face. However, the designers also thought that she seemed very insecure and nervous and needs to practice her walk. Allison thinks this is a fair assessment. The designers loved Aminat and think that she has a great walk. The designers thought that Teyona has a very beautiful face and loved her personality. One designer even said that she's everything that they're looking for in a model. Well then! It is hard for me to imagine how Teyona isn't going to win this whole thing at the moment, though when she flashes her denture smile I can see a surprise ending reflected in those horrifying pearly whites. In any case, Teyona is the winner. She gets a piece from the collection of each participating designer, which is a pretty awesome prize. Teyona also feels good because she's proven that she has what it takes to actually go out there and book jobs. Or do My Life as a Cover Girl spots in purgatory.
The girls return home to find Teyona's goodies. She is a touch less than gracious about her victory as she yells, "Don't touch don't touch don't touch don't touch don't touch don't touch! I want it all I want it all I want it all!" Fo cries in the confessional, saying that Teyona won the best challenge and it pissed her off. Well, try growing a couple of inches, then. Fo weeps that she's come so far, and at this point she needs to win and has to win. Nay, and nay. Celia tells us that Teyona is her competition now. She does admit that Teyona's wardrobe was in dire need of a major facelift, so it's okay that she won, if discouraging. Celia tells us that she has to have an amazing photo shoot, and if she doesn't, she's going home. Commercials.
Meanwhile, McKey finally gets to be in that runway show she's been droning on about all season. Almost.
When we return, there is Tyra Mail. "Top Models get maximum exposure. Tomorrow, you'll know what that's like. Love, Tyra." The girls all have a funny feeling they'll be showing their bits in teeny weeny Brazilian bikinis. Allison confessionalizes that she doesn't think her body is particularly a swimsuit body. I'd buy that. She feels a bit awkward, which is likely not helped by Aminat yelling, "Nudity!" Allison bites her lip with her giant rabbit teeth and looks more like a sad Easter Bunny than ever.
The girls head off to the beach. I hope Natalie is eating her hat right now. Jay greets them wearing his muscle shirt and teeny shorts. Meanwhile, Nigel, dressed as a tourist, comes fumbling in pretending to be looking for the beach. The sand and the waves are your first clues, rookie. Nigel is, of course, the photographer for the day. He tells the girls that they're going to be wearing some high-fashion swimwear, and will have to stand out in a crowd. Last time he shot the girls, they had to light themselves with strobe equipment. This time, they'll have to turn the spotlight on themselves by modeling themselves out of a crowd. But not literally out of a crowd, since they'll be posing amongst the crowd. As with most things on this show, it's better to not think about it too much. Nigel instructs the girls to throw their inhibitions to the wind and show him what they've got. Allison is even more nervous than usual given Nigel's status as a judge.
The girls head to hair and makeup and get their wardrobe, which consists of tiny scraps of clothing. It's like the leftover bits Joseph used to make his Technicolor dreamcoat, but shrunk in the dryer. Sutan sasses to Teyona, "If it seems like I'm ignoring you, it's because I am." Celia tells us that she has to get a number one picture, or else she's completely doomed. I don't know why she's so convinced that she's screwed. Fo is excited to show Nigel that she's improved since the days that she was crying over being plain Jane's brother. Teyona is shocked at how small the bathing suits are. Anda or Masha tells her that all the bottoms are tiny. This must be true, as all we see of backsides today are blurry bits.
Aminat and her blurry bottom are first. Nigel introduces her to the extras on her set. Aminat explains that they were all expecting the extras to be fellow models, but in fact they are weirdo locals. There is one hairy fat guy in a Speedo who it is going to be difficult to outshine. With such a weird mix of people on set, Aminat tells us that you really have to be the focus. Nigel is excited to shoot Aminat because she's got real swimsuit model potential. She's got long limbs and beautiful skin and looks amazing, but she needs to be in control of how amazing she looks, says Nigel. It's as if she's not fully connected. At the end of the shoot Nigel tells her that she's got it -- a banging body and great-looking face -- but she focuses too much on what's being said and what goes on around her. Jay says, "Be you." Frankly, in this case, I don't know if that's good advice.
Fo is up in her microscopic ensemble. Fo interviews that she's not worried about standing out, because she does stand out in the crowd. Her strategy is to look strong and do what Nigel wants. She does a few poses and Nigel notes that she's not the tallest girl on the beach, so needs to stretch her limbs. At some point in the shoot, Jay tells Fo that she's being too safe, and that if she's aggressive she'll give the shot more of an editorial vibe. He interviews that Fo goes from pose to pose, and it's forced, commercial, and just plain not right. At one point he yells, "You're giving me Gollum again." Ooh, it's true. Fo also didn't interact with the extras in the scene, and it came off as disingenuous and like remedial modeling. Bad, bad and worse.
Allison is , and confirms for us that she is sporting the smallest bikini she's ever worn in her life. She also confirms that she doesn't usually feel like a sexy person. Too bad, because I think she's primed to enact someone's Holly Hobby fantasy. Allison is nervous, but this isn't all bad -- she tells us that sometimes nerves give you the adrenaline rush that you need. Allison beelines for the hairy fat Speedo guy and poses with him. Jay tells her that if she's going to do that she needs to get even closer. Without pause, she does it. Now that's commitment! Nigel yells, "Beautiful!" and also acknowledges that Speedo guy is getting the thrill of his life AND getting paid. Would that we were all so lucky. Nigel tells us that Allison was a bit of a surprise. She moved around the picture and made sense of it. After the shoot, Nigel tells Allison to believe in herself, for reals.
Teyona is , and hopes that she once again does a good job with Nigel behind the lens. Jay says that Teyona is pretty close to being a true top model, but tends to hold her shoulders stiff and high like she's in a monster movie. But generally, she does a really good job. Nigel tells us in plain terms that she can model. She doesn't have the best swimsuit body per se, but knows how to move and understands angles and goes for it. Jay says, "Nigel likey," and suddenly I have post-traumatic flashbacks to Bret Michaels. Alas, I shall never be free. Anyway, Teyona is awesome.
This leaves Celia as the only one left to pose. She tells us that she was practicing in the trailer and obsessively looking at her face and body. Knowing the competition level around her, she says, she really needs to step up her game. Celia is wearing a pirate's eye patch for a bikini bottom. It is really something, and Celia should be commended for her regular waxing. When Celia gets to set and sees the array of weirdo extras, she's a little thrown. It was not what she had in mind when preparing for the shoot. Celia starts to pose, and looks pretty generic. Nigel tells her to interact with the Speedo guy, and Celia places a reluctant hand on his torso. You can't blame her for that one. When Jay and Nigel prompt for more interaction, she goes so far as to squeeze his man-boob. Now THAT is commitment. However, the results are still not impressive. Nigel tells us that they had a great set-up for Celia, but she wasn't connecting to the characters and felt removed from the whole scene. Nigel hands his camera to an assistant and goes on set to give Celia some ideas. Jay tells us that it's very embarrassing when a photographer has to jump in the shot and show the model what to do. Nigel caresses Speedo guy and then is grossed out by what he's been forced to do. Nonetheless, according to Jay, Nigel made the shot believable, and that is the job of a model. Celia picks up some sand and lets it fall, prompting an, "Ooh, Lord," from Jay. And not the good kind.
When the girls return home, there is Correio da Tyra. Someone is getting the big, designer stiletto boot. Celia interviews that, because of what happened at the photo shoot, she's quite certain that she'll be the one to go home. She confesses to Fo and Allison that Nigel switched places with her to enable her to see the scene. Her voice is sad with shame. With a bit of a sob in her voice she interviews that it's hard to think that everything you've worked so hard for will be gone. Allison asks Celia what would happen if the two of them were at the bottom. As Teyona and Aminat sneak up to eavesdrop, Celia states that the judges aren't going to send Teyona home, so it will probably either be herself or Aminat who goes. Aminat is mildly scandalized. She thinks that Celia will be going home because she's not a strong model and, in case you forgot, is a contemporary of Grandma Moses. For her part, Fo doesn't want to get her hopes up. She's unsure about panel, but also thinks that some of the other girls didn't do as well as she did. With that note of doom, we head to commercials.
Aminat is up , and actually looks pretty gorgeous. Tyra tells her that she booked two out of three go-sees, and Aminat gives herself a big cheer for this even though it's not all that impressive. Nigel tells Aminat that she was pretty good on set, but there are definitely things she could do to improve. She doesn't get into the scene and emote enough, and really has to get into the moment. Aminat gets big props on her body, but negative props for not using it in her photo. Paulina tells her that she's average and adds, "That's not how you model!" Tyra tells Aminat that if she made it as a model, she would have a body to rival Naomi Campbell, whose body is one of the best ever. Somewhere, Naomi is throwing her cell phone at a lackey in glee. However, Aminat doesn't know what she has, and her picture is a waste of a body.
is Fo. Nigel tells her that she couldn't find her length in the picture, and kept going back to a weird hunching pose. It was difficult for him to shoot her. Cris tells Fo that she's not natural in her photo, and Miss J. adds that she looks mushed and short. Paulina tells Fo that this is the worst picture of her yet. Fo looks like she is about to cry. Tyra sternly tells her that she has to work on her angles. The judges are looking for proportion. Tyra walks to the front of the judging table to give the models a little lesson. Anything that you move toward the camera looks bigger, and anything you push back from the camera looks smaller. If you have big boobies, drop them back a bit! It's all about playing with lights and shadows and pulling things away from the camera. Paulina tells Tyra that she just gave a perfect lesson. Tyra doesn't acknowledge this praise, because she already knows. As it happens, Fo booked zero out of five go-sees. That is sad times. Tyra asks Cris why she didn't book Fo, and Cris says that Fo needs to practice more and also isn't tall enough for runway. Miss J. thinks that if Fo had gone in acting six feet tall, Cris never would have noticed her diminutive size. Cris says that perhaps Fo was tense. Tyra tells the girls that each of them has to fight extra hard to prove that they're good enough. Celia is an old hag, Teyona and Aminat are black, Allison is retarded, and Fo is a little person in a big world.
Finally, there's Allison. Tyra notes that there's a bit more confidence in her walk this week and Allison adorably replies, "I'm trying." Allison's photo is surprisingly good. Nigel tells her that she's one of the few girls who really worked the whole picture. Tyra says that she thought Allison would be her usual cute kewpie doll self in the photo, but she actually evoked some sexuality, like a sexual mermaid that washed up on the shore of Brazil. I don't even want to think about the weird Splash fiction that Tyra reads in her off-time. Cris says that Allison has attitude in her picture, which is what designers look for. However, in sad news, Allison only booked one out of four go-sees. Tyra says that this must be because of her demeanor and how she's selling herself to clients since her pictures are strong. Tyra hasn't seen Allison walk lately, I guess.
The judges deliberate. Teyona is fabulous, fantastic, amazing, and finally looks like a model. Celia looks like a novice, and quite unnatural. Nigel says that the problem with Celia is that everything has to be rehearsed. On set, she looked rehearsed, which is no good. Miss J. thinks that girls like Celia always try to be sexy when they really can't be sexy. I think The Golden Girls disproved that way of thinking, J., so get with the times. Aminat also isn't natural, and needs tension in her body when she poses. "Tension" is the new "booty tooch." Fo looks like munch n' scrunch. I don't know what that is, but it's short. Paulina says that her photo is a disaster. Nigel adds that Fo doesn't know how to deliver her natural, beautiful self in a picture. Tyra says that a lot of models fall apart in front of top photographers, including herself. I don't see what this has to do with Nigel. Allison did a good job and worked the set. Cris likes Allison and her freshness. Nigel does an impression of Allison's rabbit face upon being told that she did a good job, which even makes Miss J. cackle. With that, the judges have reached a decision.
There are five beautiful ladies standing in front of Tyra, but she only has four photos in her hand. And the first photo, which is the best of the week, goes to Teyona. She must be getting tired of seeing herself as digital art. Allison is called , followed by Aminat. This leaves Celia and Fo in the bottom two. Celia is old. Fo is short. And in this battle of the fatal flaws, Celia gets a photo and stays alive for one more week. A weeping Fo gives Tyra a big hug. Tyra tells her that she's very special and beautiful and has a lovely spirit, but her proportions photograph short. Tyra makes Fo promise not to grow her hair out or get a weave because her short hair, unlike her short body, is stunning. Fo makes a gracious exit. She interviews that this has been one of the most beautiful experiences of her life. She has newfound respect for herself, and can go home with a sense of purpose and hope that she can achieve her goals. Even though she's short. She's going to go back to school and get her diploma first, which I think is something we can all applaud. Let's hope she can talk her way into a college that needs to fill its little person quota.
week: Samba! And Tyra gets behind the lens to shoot her final four like prey.
